Battery ground wire   Printable Version Harley Davidson Forum >> Harley Davidson Motorcycles >> Classic >> Flathead >> Battery ground wire Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> Battery ground wire - 3/21/2008 12:35:38 PM    HSMaxim Posts: 63 Joined: 4/21/2007 Status: offline I have two problems: On my 39UL the ground wire is grounded to a bolt for the buddyseat helper spring, this does not seem right to me, where should it go? Still the six volt. The second is how can I keep the positive terminal from getting all built up with corrosion and having it fall onto the oil tank? I have tried grease, vaseline and regular battery terminal grease with no luck. Other than disconnecting the batt every time and then having to flash the regulator what can be done?

I have problems when I run the spot lights and figured a better ground may be in order. Thanks again.
